Update on the 101
The 101 Eureka-Arcata Improvement Project is probably the largest transportation infrastructure investment planned for the Humboldt Bay region over the next decade.  The scale of this highway project, which includes a new highway interchange at Indianola Cutoff will influence the way we travel between and within Eureka and Arcata for decades and will affect the availability of funding for other street improvements.

Monday November 16,  6:00 - 7:30 p.m., Eureka at the Wharfinger Building
Tuesday November 17, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m., McKinleyville, Azalea Hall
Wednesday November 18, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m., Fortuna, Monday Club

Don't miss this opportunity. Have your friends and family join you.

If you cannot attend the first set of workshops, but would like to provide input, please email your comments to hcaog@pacbell.net.

Many motorists don't know how to share the road with cyclists, maybe drivers education classes should include videos like this one. Nice work Chicago PD.

The Summer edition of the Community Wheel focuses on "Healthy Choices[:] Taking Steps Toward Active Transportation". Inside you'll find up-to-date news on the The Rail-With-Trail Alliance, a coalition that includes Green Wheels. This coalition has convinced the NCRA to agree to virtually every amendment the alliance suggested (p.4).

The feature article is an interview with the Humboldt County Public Health Officer, Dr. Ann Lindsay on how transportation choices and the built environment may affect public health (p.6).

Enjoy a PDF of the publication online and look for it in the North Coast Journal this coming week and throughout the season in some of your favorite stores.
